WHAT BREEDS MAKE UP ANNIE?The Wisdom Panel® Insights™ computer algorithm performed over seven million calculations using 11 different models(from a single breed to complex combinations of breeds) to predict the most likely combination of pure and mixed breeddogs in the last 3 ancestral generations that best fit the DNA marker pattern observed in Annie. The ancestry chartdepicting the best statistical result of this analysis is shown in the picture below.

WHAT DOES THE MIXED BREED ANCESTOR MEAN FOR MY DOG?

We have identified for you the 5 next best breed matches which appeared in the analysis of your dog's DNA. One ormore of these breeds could have contributed to the genetic makeup of the ancestors indicated by the mixed breedicon. The breeds are listed by the relative strength of each result in our analysis with the most likely at the top ofthe list. There could also be a breed or breeds present in the mixed breed component that we cannot detect with ourcurrent database of purebred dogs.

HOW WISDOM PANEL INSIGHTS WORKSThe process started when you sent a sample to our laboratory, where the DNA was extracted from the cells andexamined for the 321 markers that are used in the test. The results for these markers were sent to a computer,that evaluated them using a program designed to consider all of the pedigree trees that are possible in the lastthree generations. The trees considered include a simple pedigree with a single breed (a likely pure-bred dog), twodifferent breeds at the parental level (a first-generation cross), all the way up to a complex tree with eight differentgreat-grandparent breeds allowed.

Our computer used information from over 185 breeds from our breed database to fill these potential pedigrees.For each of the millions of combinations of ancestry trees built and considered, the computer gave each a scorerepresenting how well that selected combination of breeds matched to your dog’s data. The pedigree with the overallbest score is the one which is shown on the ancestry chart. Only breeds that reached our set confidence threshold forreporting are reported in the ancestry chart.

The Rat Terrier is an American breed that has been derived from multiple crosses with Fox Terriers and all thevarious terriers that would have been brought over as farm dogs. Over time the breed has been developed tocontrol different vermin, including Whippet crosses so they could catch the Kansas Jack Rabbits that plaguedthe crops in the 1910s and 1920s and Beagle crosses to add pack instinct. These crosses served to give theRat Terrier a different temperament to other terriers, and they are much less aggressive and easier to live with.It is said that President Theodore Roosevelt owned a Rat Terrier that would clear the White House. Althoughthe Rat Terrier is a widespread breed, it has not yet achieved full American Kennel Club recognition. The RatTerrier has been a member of the Foundation Stock Service since 2004.

The rat terrier comes in a variety of coat colors usually consisting of a piebald pattern of color (or colors) incombination with white. Coat is always short, smooth and shiny.

The Border Collie can be traced back to the 1700’s where they were traditionally used by shepherds in Scotlandand England. They were developed for their herding skills and quickly acquired an excellent reputation. TheBorder Collie has keen herding instincts and their power over sheep has proven to be an asset to shepherds.In 1894, an effort was made by a farmer named Adam Telfer to tone down the breed’s mannerisms. Telfersucceeded and today’s Border Collies are descendants of Telfer’s dogs. The Border Collie was introduced intothe United States in the 1880’s, where it played a key role in sheep ranching in the western states. The BorderCollie was officially recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1995.

The Border Collie comes in a range of colors which includes solid, bicolor, tricolor, merle (mottled) andsable. The solid colors include black, blue (a shade of gray), gold, brindle (black and brown stripes) and red.The white markings are generally but not always symmetrical.
